hello future just really makes you feel good inside. especially in the last part, i feel really empowered and strong when it gets to that (which a lot of nct songs make me feel *ehem* superhuman *ehem* ). such a beautiful song, really glad that they released this as their repackage. also, love that it is a bright and refreshing song but it really feels so nct, which i really like since i looooooooove the nct sound honestly. the boys also really did well in executing the song in general!! the adlibs plus the rap parts (MARK!!!!!!) were extraordinary. might be nct dream's *best song* for sure...
My out of body experience was when I listened to the outro. 04:01 "we're going way up" until the end of the song. It always gets me so hyped and happy!! Chenle, Renjun and Haechan served 😩
i didn’t expect anything to top MFAL for me, but hello future is THAT title track!!!!! it’s a return to the bright, fresh, and hopeful nct dream sound that i’ve been really craving since we go up (and fitting since it’s 7DREAM’s reunion) it’s energetic and powerful and i missed seeing them smile on stage! the outro is absolutely insane, the high notes and riffs just keep coming, and i loveeee the mix of energetic rap + beautiful clear vocals throughout the song. the section transitions are also really nice i just love everything about this,,, i also find the lyrics really comforting, both as a regular person who could use a pick-me-up and a dose of hope for the future, and as a long time (very long, i’m going to get emotional from here LOL) 7dream fan who has gone through years of indefinite hiatuses, the graduation concept, constant lineup changes, underestimation (i can’t believe it’s taken them 5 years to get their first full album and more than one comeback a year??!!).....like it’s SO REWARDING to hear them say “i’ve been waiting for you, welcome; don’t worry about anything; we’re coming together; can you believe it’s only the beginning; on our way up” and FINALLY talk about their future like it’s a sure thing. they’re so young, it really is only the beginning!!! after all those years of them desperately wishing they could stay together as 7dream and not let go, it really makes me tear up seeing them wave hello to a future that i know is going to be brighter than ever!!!!!
Exactly! MFAL has been my favorite Dream title track, but this one is everything I wanted and more. It's the perfect 7Dream title track and the perfect hopeful, feel-good song
YASS MFAL HAD ALWAYS BEEN MY TOP 1 dream songg, but not again since hello future was released, I'm just really mind blown. So good, lots of varieties and it makes me SO SO HAPPY. Top 3 nct title track for me
Best comment, I rarely ever agree so wholeheartedly with random comments but I agree with everything you wrote!! MFAL is now my second fav Dream title song after Hello Future and we go up’s hopeful sound is exactly what I was craving from the dreamies. They have soooo much potential I’m so happy that they’re finally 7dream and starting to get the things they’ve deserved for some time now!!
Mark's flow in that one line! I love it. The sound of this song is the perfect summer song I needed. I love the production so much. Moonshine always impresses me, and combining that with Adrian McKinnon and Kenzie toplining, this is a perfect song for me
@@ReacttotheK Hi ReacttotheK, have you heard of the lead singer Floor Jansen of the Symphonic Metal band Nightwish ?

Wow, Sean really went in deep on this one, I love it! Also, thanks for pointing out the b7 in the pre-chorus, might be one of the reasons why the major 7th in the chorus sounds soooo beautiful. I agree with basically everything you said, amazing track, amazing top line (for all the reasons you listed); Moonshine, Adrian and Kenzie are just... wow. For me, I might add that not only did the long outro surprise me, but also the "2-part verse" and the "3-part bridge". Everything seems to have another part added, but it is really a testament to the form that every section feels positively surprising, never out of place. For me, this is very much a contender for NCT Dream's best song, tied with Deja Vu for now. Moonshine are truly taking over Dream, aren't they? (Also with a full hand of tracks on the album, lol.) Final thought: Well hidden tag this time, only noticed on second listen when I was on the lookout for it.
it's almost like for this song they replaced a typical SM bridge with an amazing outro that feels sooo uplifting and powerful no matter how many times i listen to it!
NCT Dream is known for this kind of song. As they grew older they released mature themed concept, but Hello Future is their repackaged album Hot Sauce which makes NCT Dream a million seller group, they wanted to come back to where fans can enjoy and feel empowered with this kind of music. And in this MV, they are aliens came to earth
3:49 thank you for noticing Chenle's riff😭 most of the people didn't and can't notice these ad-libs because they are too focused on the high notes ㅠㅠ i can say chenle has the best riffs and runs (rephrasing it so no one misunderstands: Chenle's riff and runs should be appreciated😭 it's mostly soothing and not belting) Haechan for high note Renjun's vibrato RenHyuckLe
it’s become my favorite nct dream title track! It just makes me feel bubbly inside. I think it’s because the vocals are high but we have the rap to contrast it and it fits so well. Other than that the meaning of the songs is also so hopeful
during the first time i listened to this, i really felt as if this was like déja vu but a more hopeful(?) sound! and i agree with sean that the outro was so satisfying because it indicated that this is the end of the "hot sauce-hello future" era. all in all i really loved this song so much 'cause it's so nct dream freshness but you can feel their maturity at the same time. thank you so much for your reaction again 'cause i've been waiting for this for so long!! 😭😭😭
Loved this song from first listen. The word that came to mind then was 'open'. To me, how everything was arranged in the song feels like a ripple of water opening up from a point of center
The first time I heared it to me it felt like the same fresh and feel good feeling as We Go Up. But instead of the nostalgic sad undertone of that song (for Mark's graduation), this one has a hopeful "this is just the beginning" happy undertone. Like I would use We Go Up to say "goodbye", and Hello Future to say "see you again soon". Not sure I'm making sense, but they are my 2 fav title tracks from Dream. And also, the b-side of the repackage is also amazing, I'm equally obsessed with Life Is Still Going On, also a very feel good adorable song!
I'm so happy NCT Dream is happy again. I really didn't want all the NCT units to blend into one sound, because that would totally defeat the purpose of different subunits.
I'm so happy yall reacted to this . The melody of this song is like so surprising and unexpected it goes to chords you do not even expect and it's just so stunning to listen to . I love it 😍
the outro of hello future really reminds me of red velvet’s psycho!! they give a good finale sound that you hear during the end of movies. i’m so happy i love these type of songs because they sound so grand and gives me goosebumps all over! not to mention nct dream and red velvet are my fav groups musically! (their b-sides don’t disappoint)
doesn't the vocal stacking around 2:31 feel like Adrian's doing? It reminded me a bit of Moonwalk (fits with the theme and was also produced by moonshine and adrian) and even Superhuman's vocal harmonies... idk food for thought! also... did you check with moonshine about the voice changer thing? seems like a good theory to me!!
I second that theory, adrian does a ton of that especially in choruses. you can add Turn Back Time to that list too, and even Code by shinee (of Adrian + Moonshine tracks with that good good vocal stacking)
The chorus feels like a mix of tension and hope to me. Goes well with the theme of hope for a brighter future I guess, but there is something a bit dark to me. Also I’m sure it isn’t a didgeridoo at the end but for some reason it kind of makes me think of a didgeridoo
Hello Future is kind of song that we can listening all day, every day, never get bored, the melody so fresh and so NCT. Thank you for reacting Hello Future. I suggest you to listen their Hello Future full album, really good songs and easy listening.
I just realised today why I am so attracted towards SM artists than other company artist (am a multifan,and I enjoy songs from different artist) It's because of their vocals like wowww (visual too hehe) Not only because of high notes and stuff but it's so satisfying for the ears and help me relax and give happiness I dare not called myself a czennie but I really support them Lots of love from me to you guys
This is one of the kpop songs that are somehow weird to hear, but you absolutely love it. And then as you keep listening its starts to make sense why it's so "weird" take for example the melody of the chorus.
the ET that adrian was referring to in his ig post were the dreamies 😂 if u notice during the rap parts (the ones where they wear black suits), it's a men in black concept. theyre kinda like a bunch of ETs coming to earth to bring peace
The chord change in the chorus makes my soul ascend man. I still listen to Hello Future every single day on my way to school, it never fails to cheer me up. Especially the last chorus really gets me awake xD
Thank you so much for reviewing this song! Hello Future is so bright and uplifting that I listen to it every day in the morning since it came out. I think the combination of the melody, harmonies, adlibs, and meaning behind the lyrics make it so cheerful. And the lyrics in the chorus aren’t too repetitive and don’t constantly repeat the name of the song, which is refreshing, unlike Chewing Gum, Go, We Go Up, Boom, Drippin’, or Ridin’. Also, Haechan’s four (?) high notes throughout the song are truly impressive. Honestly Hello Future is such a lovely song that not only fits Haechan’s unique voice, but it also highlights the other members, especially Jeno, Jaemin, Jisung, and Chenle, who’ve often been underutilized in previous title tracks. Plus there’s more fair distribution in lines and center focus that appropriately spotlights each member. While Chewing Gum, My First and Last, We Young, and We Go Up also had lighthearted and fresh elements musically, Hello Future takes it to the next level (pun intended). XD Additionally, I think the concept of coming together in Hello Future really symbolizes NCT Dream’s journey so far. Most of the group were part of the SM Rookies and they’ve all been working incredibly hard at a young age to become idols. Since their debut, they’ve had various songs and activities where they weren’t all together, whether it be due to injuries (Jaemin, Haechan, and Jisung), conflicting unit schedules (Mark and Haechan), or graduating from NCT Dream (Mark). I imagine it was especially weird for Mark to return to this unit for Hot Sauce, readjust himself to his role as leader, and adapt to the dynamic of having been missing for some of their promotions, like Jaemin during We Young era. If you watch NCT Dream do the random dance play on Weekly Idol episode 519, the members struggle a bit due to having different choreographies (7Dream, 6Dream, 5Dream) for several of their songs. So, their 7Dream full album and the repackage title track, Hello Future, masterfully reintroduces and solidifies Mark’s position as the leader and part of the rap line and display that with Mark’s return, they’ve finally come together both as 7Dream and as individual artists and are brightly looking forward to all the upcoming songs and activities they’ll have together in the future. Hello Future perfectly presents a positive picture for NCT Dream and their promising, prospective performances. Definitely NCT Dream’s best title track. Hello Future, Psycho, and Red Flavor all are uplifting masterpieces and have been keeping my spirit up throughout this pandemic. Also, I did not realize that where the Moonshine tag was in the song. Good catch!
chenle, haechan, jeno are the background vocal of this song. they're really great! chenle riffs and haechan highnote really completes the song! and their adlibs?! crazy!
Hello Future is by far my favorite NCT Dream track. It's also in my top 10 overall NCT playlist. the melodies, the m/v, the choreo that goes so well with the harmonies, the aesthetics, basically everything is top tier
I am so thrilled you guys reacted to Hello Future! I agree with Sean, it is definitely a TOP NCT Dream song for me and especially as a representative song of what I feel is NCT Dream’s signature sound. I love it so much I want to give it a huge hug and never let it go, if that were possible. 😆
What surprised me the most the first time I listened to Hello Future was definitely how much the melody was in a major mode in opposite with the instrumental which is not specially in minor but so much more powerful and percussive. The lyrics are so bright too, when in the clip we can see them in protest march, that's really curious but beautiful Of course, my heart stopped beating for a second when the first chorus came out cause... Major 7th chords always kill me, I don't know why... Anyway, I think it might be my favorite NCT DREAM's comeback until now, just because it has a super positive vibe that I think everybody needs nowadays !
I was about to sleep but got the notification! Always a delight to watch you reaction videos, and now with my favorite group. Lots of love to these channel 💚💚
What i love about Hello Future is that it has Dream signature refreshing style yet in a more mature(?) way so that we can still feel the growth of them. Love how it fit so well with 2021 NCT DREAM 😭💚💚
love hearing you all talk about these in such detail, it always helps me understand and voice why I like the music I like! We've been talking with our music students more and giving them the tools to talk about their favorite music too, which has been a blast.
until Hello Future, I think NCT Dream is the most beautiful teen group in kpop that I know, their songs and choreography are like telling stories and inviting interactions with fans, different from other NCT units, even I think this is a group that has solid vocals and rap, as well as a fairly fair distribution of lines. each member's color and vocal technique is different, even jeno jaemin and mark's rap style has a different style, combined with heechan chenle renjun's unique voice, and Jisung's deep vocals and bass really make a very beautiful harmonization in my opinion, they really look like 2000's teenagers.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING! Thanks so much for posting this. This song has managed to climb and become my favorite NCT Dream title track to date. It's so well produced. The textures and layers work so well together to create a bright, youthful, yet more mature sound. I haven't stopped listening to it since it came out.
Thank you for your reaction ! Love this song so much : its melody, lyrics, line distribution, choreography, positive energy ... I think I will never get tired of it. While I'm listening to it, I have a big smile on my face 💚
I personally really love when the bridge(?) part entered, when the water drop got in together with Renjun's voice... I think both matched so well. It feels so clear and pure. I just really love it that I anticipate that part every time I listen to Hello Future. *I'm not really familiar with musical jargons. I apologize in advance 🥲
I was so hoping you would react to this one! Honestly, my reaction was similar to Umu's when I first heard it...just non-stop smiles. It still gives me chills pretty much every time they hit that chorus. It's just glorious.
I’m sooooo glad y’all reacted to this! This NCT dream song is one of those “makes your brain tingle” songs. The strong major chords that come through make this song so good!
If I could only have one song to describe NCT Dream, it would be this song. The bounciness with dark moments and harmonisation just encapsulates Dream perfectly
Omg didn’t expect to be so early but was very excited to see Hello Future reaction show up on Twitter in the middle of looking at NCT Dream behind the scenes photos hehe, been obsessed with Hello Future. Such good happy feels
I didn't love it first, just liked it. But then found that I can't keep myself from smiling and feeling hope with further listens and rewatches. Dream, rainbow, future, all this is almost physical here. And I keep finding new details in the song and MV. The whole album is great. To make Dreamies OT7 and give them full album was the best SM's idea.
As soon as I heard this song, I immediately thought of you guys and couldn't wait for your reactions!! It's been on repeat for me for almost two weeks now and still not tired of it. The melody is SO PRETTYYY AND SMILEY (☆▽☆)
I'm just a casual listener of NCTs title tracks (rarely checking their besides), but Hello Future is sucking me into their discography and daaang.. NCT Dream actually has A LOT of good songs (haven't check their another unit). Last time i was into NCT Dream because of We Go Up, then they change their color to more darker side which makes me not checking them again, Mark comeback to Dreamies and their true color just shine brighter with Hello Future. Amazing song indeed, the melodies is so fun and colorful, the song is so full (?). Not to mention how each members shines equally with their vocals, rap, and choreo. Everything is just so perfect ughhh, I'm so satisfied with this repackage. Life Is Still Going On also might be my fav song of the year lol. Hoping for another great songs from them. P.S Dreamies really filling the emptiness of my heart because of RVs hiatus. Thank you Dreamies. P.S.S sorry for my English ✌
Nct dream really own this concept like refreshing concept really made just for them, i thought nothing will top mfal but hello future did that, i'm really happy to see them doing this kind of concept again as they become 7Dream
hello future just really makes you feel good inside. especially in the last part, i feel really empowered and strong when it gets to that (which a lot of nct songs make me feel *ehem* superhuman *ehem* ). such a beautiful song, really glad that they released this as their repackage. also, love that it is a bright and refreshing song but it really feels so nct, which i really like since i looooooooove the nct sound honestly. the boys also really did well in executing the song in general!! the adlibs plus the rap parts (MARK!!!!!!) were extraordinary. might be nct dream's *best song* for sure...
Mark’s rap before the outro + haechan adlibs really amplified the last chorus. Realllyyyy good song
You explanied it perfectly!
Literally feel like I’m havin an out of body experience listening to the end of the song the build up is just so good
Yes absolutely!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that
Straight facts !!!!! ;)
i remember when i listened to the chorus for the first time and i pretty much had an out of body experience because it was so fresh.
Ok it’s not only me then !! This is one of the best refreshing chorus i have heard till now
I'm in! The chorus feels like bringing all the possitivity and happiness to revolve around me🥺🥰🙋
My out of body experience was when I listened to the outro. 04:01 "we're going way up" until the end of the song.
It always gets me so hyped and happy!! Chenle, Renjun and Haechan served 😩
same lol
Somehow, i was almost crying lol🤣🤣 it was a feeling i couldn't describe.
Can we appreciate Renjun, Chenle, and Haechan being the bridge vocal trinity of Dream? Flawless and well made!
SM does love making gorgeous vocal trinities and we're spoiled since Haechan is part another trinity.
main vocalist things
yeah, I agree. I also love the bridge in ANL which the "vocal trinity" sang hehehe
I love vocal haechan renjun chenle 😭💕👍
i didn’t expect anything to top MFAL for me, but hello future is THAT title track!!!!! it’s a return to the bright, fresh, and hopeful nct dream sound that i’ve been really craving since we go up (and fitting since it’s 7DREAM’s reunion) it’s energetic and powerful and i missed seeing them smile on stage! the outro is absolutely insane, the high notes and riffs just keep coming, and i loveeee the mix of energetic rap + beautiful clear vocals throughout the song. the section transitions are also really nice i just love everything about this,,, i also find the lyrics really comforting, both as a regular person who could use a pick-me-up and a dose of hope for the future, and as a long time (very long, i’m going to get emotional from here LOL) 7dream fan who has gone through years of indefinite hiatuses, the graduation concept, constant lineup changes, underestimation (i can’t believe it’s taken them 5 years to get their first full album and more than one comeback a year??!!).....like it’s SO REWARDING to hear them say “i’ve been waiting for you, welcome; don’t worry about anything; we’re coming together; can you believe it’s only the beginning; on our way up” and FINALLY talk about their future like it’s a sure thing. they’re so young, it really is only the beginning!!! after all those years of them desperately wishing they could stay together as 7dream and not let go, it really makes me tear up seeing them wave hello to a future that i know is going to be brighter than ever!!!!!
Exactly! MFAL has been my favorite Dream title track, but this one is everything I wanted and more. It's the perfect 7Dream title track and the perfect hopeful, feel-good song
YASS MFAL HAD ALWAYS BEEN MY TOP 1 dream songg, but not again since hello future was released, I'm just really mind blown. So good, lots of varieties and it makes me SO SO HAPPY. Top 3 nct title track for me
RIGHT!!! THIS IS JUST PERFECT!!!
Best comment, I rarely ever agree so wholeheartedly with random comments but I agree with everything you wrote!! MFAL is now my second fav Dream title song after Hello Future and we go up’s hopeful sound is exactly what I was craving from the dreamies. They have soooo much potential I’m so happy that they’re finally 7dream and starting to get the things they’ve deserved for some time now!!
I FEEL YOU ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL
Haechan is gonna run out of this universe with all his rifts and runs
Yessss....
The melody is genious, and the instrumentation is so fresh, the song is made so good and so tastefully
The melodies, this music, the lyrics, the feeling it’s gives me.everything made it at least top 5 favorite NCT title tracks for me
Mark's flow in that one line! I love it. The sound of this song is the perfect summer song I needed. I love the production so much. Moonshine always impresses me, and combining that with Adrian McKinnon and Kenzie toplining, this is a perfect song for me
I talked to Adrian and he said Kenzie did the majority of the toplining for this! what a QUEEN 😍

hello future’s outro is the outro of 2021. no further comment.
Definitely, just like Psycho was for 2020 like Sean was saying

Haechan's riffs and runs are actually godly along with his high notes

Chenle my little baby, I love his adlibs so much in this song JESUS 💕😭💕😭💕😭💕😭💕😭
2:26 I LOVE WHAT THEY DID WITH HAECHAN's LINE BY COMING IN HALF A BEAT SLOWER ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ variation 🤩
As what DREAMIES said, HELLO FUTURE is a gift to the fans,they just want something light and DREAM sound...since hot sauce was successful...
Does anyone notices that they go from knowing nothing about NCT to having their alb and poster in the background?😂
it’s become my favorite nct dream title track! It just makes me feel bubbly inside. I think it’s because the vocals are high but we have the rap to contrast it and it fits so well. Other than that the meaning of the songs is also so hopeful

Sean's talk about longer outro and sense of finality for series of releases is interesting
Wonder if it's coincidental or designed to be like that
I'm so happy NCT Dream is happy again. I really didn't want all the NCT units to blend into one sound, because that would totally defeat the purpose of different subunits.
I'm so happy yall reacted to this . The melody of this song is like so surprising and unexpected it goes to chords you do not even expect and it's just so stunning to listen to . I love it 😍
THE OUTRO IS INSANE BRUHS
Renjun’s sweet voice….loved his vocals in this. 💚
the outro of hello future really reminds me of red velvet’s psycho!! they give a good finale sound that you hear during the end of movies.

No one topped MFAL for me until this came out.
For someone who isn't an album collecter, I'm glad I ordered
Hello Future is kind of song that we can listening all day, every day, never get bored, the melody so fresh and so NCT. Thank you for reacting Hello Future. I suggest you to listen their Hello Future full album, really good songs and easy listening.

Haechan and Chenle's riffs at the end really just -✨✨✨
Also, that last part slaps SO HARD
Thank you so much for reviewing this song! Hello Future is so bright and uplifting that I listen to it every day in the morning since it came out. I think the combination of the melody, harmonies, adlibs, and meaning behind the lyrics make it so cheerful. And the lyrics in the chorus aren’t too repetitive and don’t constantly repeat the name of the song, which is refreshing, unlike Chewing Gum, Go, We Go Up, Boom, Drippin’, or Ridin’. Also, Haechan’s four (?) high notes throughout the song are truly impressive. Honestly Hello Future is such a lovely song that not only fits Haechan’s unique voice, but it also highlights the other members, especially Jeno, Jaemin, Jisung, and Chenle, who’ve often been underutilized in previous title tracks. Plus there’s more fair distribution in lines and center focus that appropriately spotlights each member. While Chewing Gum, My First and Last, We Young, and We Go Up also had lighthearted and fresh elements musically, Hello Future takes it to the next level (pun intended). XD
Additionally, I think the concept of coming together in Hello Future really symbolizes NCT Dream’s journey so far. Most of the group were part of the SM Rookies and they’ve all been working incredibly hard at a young age to become idols. Since their debut, they’ve had various songs and activities where they weren’t all together, whether it be due to injuries (Jaemin, Haechan, and Jisung), conflicting unit schedules (Mark and Haechan), or graduating from NCT Dream (Mark). I imagine it was especially weird for Mark to return to this unit for Hot Sauce, readjust himself to his role as leader, and adapt to the dynamic of having been missing for some of their promotions, like Jaemin during We Young era. If you watch NCT Dream do the random dance play on Weekly Idol episode 519, the members struggle a bit due to having different choreographies (7Dream, 6Dream, 5Dream) for several of their songs. So, their 7Dream full album and the repackage title track, Hello Future, masterfully reintroduces and solidifies Mark’s position as the leader and part of the rap line and display that with Mark’s return, they’ve finally come together both as 7Dream and as individual artists and are brightly looking forward to all the upcoming songs and activities they’ll have together in the future. Hello Future perfectly presents a positive picture for NCT Dream and their promising, prospective performances. Definitely NCT Dream’s best title track.
Hello Future, Psycho, and Red Flavor all are uplifting masterpieces and have been keeping my spirit up throughout this pandemic.
Also, I did not realize that where the Moonshine tag was in the song. Good catch!
Definitely a strong contender for the best NCT Dream song. It's so well structured and to top it off with a memorable MV as well.
The way the beat pause for a bit on Mark's rap part .
That was insane!
Haechan is such a mood by himself. We need a solo ASAP
Hello Future really brightens up my day when I listen to it.
i get so hyped up listening to this song
I love the feeling of the instrumental and the way it cuts out for marks rap on the bridge is *chefs kiss*
Umu’s smile every time Haechan’s part came up is so telling lmao. Girl, your bias is showing😉
chenle, haechan, jeno are the background vocal of this song. they're really great! chenle riffs and haechan highnote really completes the song! and their adlibs?! crazy!
Hello Future is by far my favorite NCT Dream track. It's also in my top 10 overall NCT playlist. the melodies, the m/v, the choreo that goes so well with the harmonies, the aesthetics, basically everything is top tier
I am so thrilled you guys reacted to Hello Future! I agree with Sean, it is definitely a TOP NCT Dream song for me and especially as a representative song of what I feel is NCT Dream’s signature sound. I love it so much I want to give it a huge hug and never let it go, if that were possible. 😆
What surprised me the most the first time I listened to Hello Future was definitely how much the melody was in a major mode in opposite with the instrumental which is not specially in minor but so much more powerful and percussive. The lyrics are so bright too, when in the clip we can see them in protest march, that's really curious but beautiful
Of course, my heart stopped beating for a second when the first chorus came out cause... Major 7th chords always kill me, I don't know why...
Anyway, I think it might be my favorite NCT DREAM's comeback until now, just because it has a super positive vibe that I think everybody needs nowadays !
I was about to sleep but got the notification! Always a delight to watch you reaction videos, and now with my favorite group. Lots of love to these channel 💚💚
I'm so in love with this song😭❤️ Adrian, Kenzie and Moonshine did such a great job❤️❤️❤️
What i love about Hello Future is that it has Dream signature refreshing style yet in a more mature(?) way so that we can still feel the growth of them. Love how it fit so well with 2021 NCT DREAM 😭💚💚
love hearing you all talk about these in such detail, it always helps me understand and voice why I like the music I like! We've been talking with our music students more and giving them the tools to talk about their favorite music too, which has been a blast.
until Hello Future, I think NCT Dream is the most beautiful teen group in kpop that I know, their songs and choreography are like telling stories and inviting interactions with fans, different from other NCT units, even I think this is a group that has solid vocals and rap, as well as a fairly fair distribution of lines. each member's color and vocal technique is different, even jeno jaemin and mark's rap style has a different style, combined with heechan chenle renjun's unique voice, and Jisung's deep vocals and bass really make a very beautiful harmonization in my opinion, they really look like 2000's teenagers.
YOUR FACE WHEN THAT CHORUS HITS HAHAHAHA EXXACTTTLYYY
I HAVE BEEN WAITING! Thanks so much for posting this. This song has managed to climb and become my favorite NCT Dream title track to date. It's so well produced. The textures and layers work so well together to create a bright, youthful, yet more mature sound. I haven't stopped listening to it since it came out.
Thank you for your reaction ! Love this song so much : its melody, lyrics, line distribution, choreography, positive energy ... I think I will never get tired of it. While I'm listening to it, I have a big smile on my face 💚
I personally really love when the bridge(?) part entered, when the water drop got in together with Renjun's voice... I think both matched so well. It feels so clear and pure. I just really love it that I anticipate that part every time I listen to Hello Future.
*I'm not really familiar with musical jargons. I apologize in advance 🥲
I was so hoping you would react to this one! Honestly, my reaction was similar to Umu's when I first heard it...just non-stop smiles. It still gives me chills pretty much every time they hit that chorus. It's just glorious.
This is my fav title from them hands down. It’s exactly what I love and exactly what I needed right now.
PLEASE DO DIVE INTO YOU BY NCT DREAM. THEYRE GONNA LOVE THE CHORUS
I’m sooooo glad y’all reacted to this! This NCT dream song is one of those “makes your brain tingle” songs. The strong major chords that come through make this song so good!
When I first heard this song and watched the mv, my immediate thought was that it will get the We Are the World treatment in about 8 years.
honestly never thought id cry because of a tt until hello future dropped
If I could only have one song to describe NCT Dream, it would be this song. The bounciness with dark moments and harmonisation just encapsulates Dream perfectly
Moonshine have been on a madness recently, only producing bangers.
Bungee and LISGO also sound really good, i like the repackage more than most of the songs in hs album 😊😊
I can't help but smile when I listen to hello future!
I've heard this for like a thousand times and I still get goosebumps.
Hello Future sounds like Deja Vu to me but in a major key
Musicians appreciating NCT music just gives me goosebumps.
I can see Taeil in Sean's background. Yas! 💚
Omg didn’t expect to be so early but was very excited to see Hello Future reaction show up on Twitter in the middle of looking at NCT Dream behind the scenes photos hehe, been obsessed with Hello Future. Such good happy feels
I didn't love it first, just liked it. But then found that I can't keep myself from smiling and feeling hope with further listens and rewatches. Dream, rainbow, future, all this is almost physical here.
And I keep finding new details in the song and MV.
The whole album is great. To make Dreamies OT7 and give them full album was the best SM's idea.
their whole new album has so much gems.
hello future was everything i could have wanted from an nct dream title track tbh
i literally can’t stop listening to this song :)
As soon as I heard this song, I immediately thought of you guys and couldn't wait for your reactions!! It's been on repeat for me for almost two weeks now and still not tired of it. The melody is SO PRETTYYY AND SMILEY (☆▽☆)
Its Like "chewing gum" mature version lol
love love love this. yall should react to AKMU latest song release, NAKKA!
OMG FINALLY :((( I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER. THANKYOUUU
I'm just a casual listener of NCTs title tracks (rarely checking their besides), but Hello Future is sucking me into their discography and daaang.. NCT Dream actually has A LOT of good songs (haven't check their another unit). Last time i was into NCT Dream because of We Go Up, then they change their color to more darker side which makes me not checking them again, Mark comeback to Dreamies and their true color just shine brighter with Hello Future. Amazing song indeed, the melodies is so fun and colorful, the song is so full (?). Not to mention how each members shines equally with their vocals, rap, and choreo. Everything is just so perfect ughhh, I'm so satisfied with this repackage. Life Is Still Going On also might be my fav song of the year lol. Hoping for another great songs from them.
P.S Dreamies really filling the emptiness of my heart because of RVs hiatus. Thank you Dreamies.
P.S.S sorry for my English ✌
Forget to mention Haechan's deliver the verses and high note so good as always. He ate the intro and the autro!!!
I hope we can have the reaction of the others too it ill be interesting to see their reactions

I think NCT Dream is the new gen SHINee. The musicality, the versatility, and the performance. Very well-rounded.
